Multiple roles for SR proteins in trans splicing.
The trans-splicing reaction involves the association of 5' and 3' splice sites contained on separate transcripts. The mechanism by which these splice sites are juxtaposed during trans-spliceosome assembly and the role of SR proteins at each stage in this process have not been determined. Utilizing a system that allows for the separation of the RNA binding and RS domains of SR proteins, we have ...
متن کاملSR proteins are ‘locators’ of the RNA splicing machinery
For those of us used to hearing with our ears, it is difficult to imagine how the fish or amphibian perceives its environment on the basis of information from the lateral line sensory system. The lateral line system detects vibrations in the water, a process that has been termed ‘svenning’ — after Sven Dijkgraaf (1908–1995), a founder figure in lateral line research — and is neatly summarised i...
متن کاملU small nuclear ribonucleoprotein requirements for nematode cis- and trans-splicing in vitro.
In nematodes, a fraction of mRNAs acquires a common 22-nucleotide 5'-terminal spliced leader sequence via a trans-splicing reaction. The same premessenger RNAs which receive the spliced leader are also processed by conventional cis-splicing. Whole cell extracts prepared from synchronous embryos of the parasitic nematode Ascaris lumbricoides catalyze both cis- and trans-splicing. We have used th...
متن کاملIn vitro trans-splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The interactions established at the 5'-splice site during spliceosome assembly are likely to be important for both precise recognition of the upstream intron boundary and for positioning this site in the active center of the spliceosome. Definition of the RNA-RNA and the RNA-protein interactions at the 5' splice site would be facilitated by the use of a small substrate amenable to modification ...
متن کاملRNA Editing in Mitochondrial Trans-Introns Is Required for Splicing
In plant mitochondria, gene expression of translatable mRNAs is a complex process with two critical steps, RNA editing and splicing. We studied the role of RNA editing on non-coding regions of the mat-r-nad1e-nad5c transcript from wheat mitochondria. This RNA contains two trans-introns, 3'-nad1-I4 and 3'-nad5-I2, involved in different trans-splicing events, ensuring the association of nad1d-nad...
